My mind is constantly terrified beyond endurance. For what cause is this so?' Maudgalyāyana answered, saying, 'In your past life you committed sexual misconduct with other women. You were constantly afraid of being seen by others, or feared that their husbands would seize, bind, beat, and kill you, or feared that the official law would execute you in the public market. Your terror continued uninterrupted. Therefore you suffer this pain.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.9.49) - [Next: 9.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.9.51) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123~en-mt.9.50) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [經律異相](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2121.46.61) — Classical Chinese - [佛說雜藏經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.avadana.ksudrakapitakasutra*zh-faxian.1.34) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.9.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.9.50) · Pramāṇa
